Gamers neet to give Wii U a chance. Wii U is under rated and overlooked.

The Wii U is the best system I have ever owned, and yes we all know that PS4 is a powerhouse and up and coming great console. However all gamers
should give Wii U a chance, and NO I am not talking about the in store demo stations. You can in no way get the Wii U experience unless you are at
home and online with the system.

Backwards compatible right off the bat. All Wii Remote Plus controllers work with the system, Wii games work as well. The Wii U also upscales
your Wii games to 1080p. Allot of gamers dumped their Wii, but in doing so missed some great games that are available for next to nothing on Ebay,
and gamestop. My top Wii games are. Super Mario galaxy 1 and 2 (they were groundbreaking at the time of release), Zelda Skyward Sword, Sin and
Punishment, Mario Kart, Xenoblade, Metroid Prime Trilogy. All of these games alone are worth having a Wii U for if you no longer have a Wii, I cannot
say enough good about Super Mario Galaxy. It is just plain fun!!!

The gamepad for Wii U is great. Allot of games offer the option of having your HUD on the gamepad which cleans up your screen for a more imersive
experience, and also games like Assassins Creed 3 on the fly weapons switch. The online two player experience for BOPS2 is amazing, two players one
room both online with their own screen. The gamepad also is great if someone wants to watch TV and you want to keep playing your game. No prob just
tap a button and boom gamepad only, and your TV is free. If you find the gamepad play not for you, well switch it to HUD only and use the classic
controller which feels like a 360 controller.

Online with Wii U. Playing games online with Wii U is free. No membership etc. TVii online function is better than most Ipad apps, Youtube is
MUCH better than my Smart TV or PC. Google Street view is amazing with the gamepad. All in all Nintendo has finally done online right.

Most importantly the games. Wii U finally has a great library of games. If you have not see the Wii U version of Deux Ex Directors cut and how the
gamepad makes the game the "definitive" version, well you really need to watch this.......www.youtube.com...
Rayman Ledgends once again the "definitive" version is on the Wii U as well as Splinter Cell Black List, Trine 2 and Need for Speed Most Wanted.
Zombi U, New Super Mario Bros 2, Nintendo land, Zelda Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, Lego City, Sonic Lost Worlds, all great games out now that you can not
play on any other console. Also Mario 3D land looks pretty freaking cool.

I really like the Wii U and hope at least some of you will read this and give it a chance. I am going to pick up a PS4 this Holiday too, but I am
still glad I have a Wii U, and do think too many people judge it without giving it a real try. Amazing and great system! $299 with Zelda Wind Waker
that is a great deal!!!

Every other game that isn't, is either a poorer version of whats out, or an older game in general that has already seen a console release on better
systems.

The remote is cool, but gimmicky, yet seems perfect to go to the can with...

As a gamer I have a wii U, for first party titles like Zelda, Mario, Metroid, something the Wii U has yet to have a major release for (Lugi world, and
Wind waker don't count) Mario 3d world I will be getting.

BUT by know measure is the WII a must have for serious gamers, its a nostalgia buy for those that remember a nintendo childhood (a market they know
well and is their bread and butter.)

ETA: And like me, if you really love going to the can and playing your game, PS4 will have the same feature with the Vita.

As I see it the Wii U is a console for the family and casual gamers , unfortunately for owners of the console its lifspan will be short once the XBone
and PS4 are released , I think the recent price cut gave it a reprieve but the writings on the wall .

The only way I game now is on the PC as it is still the best platform for games , I will never own another console .

I named several games that Wii U has the "definitive" version of. Deux, Need For Speed, Trine 2, Rayman, all better on Wii U. In fact Need for
speed has PC graphics. Not the PS360's. Yes it has some great first party titles. Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Bayonetta 2, Donkey Kong, 3D Mario
World, all slated for release before May. But I also included titles, Zombi U, Pikmin 3, Nintendo Land, Sonic, Wind Waker, that are out now and Only
on Wii U. So in fact there are some superior titles on Wii U, and then some striped down versions of games too. That is why I own 2 systems. PS3 AND
Wii U. If the Wii U version is better I get it for Wii U, and if the game is better on PS3 I pick it up on that. I will do the same when PS4 comes out
too.

No the Wii U, is much more powerful than GameCube, and it is also much more powerful than the PS360, HOWEVER not nearly powerful as PS4 and One. The
Wii U uses a much more modern Tech than last gen. Also the Wii U has 2meg ram of which 1.5mb can be used for games and the other .5 is the OS, where
as both PS3 and 360 had 512k shared for games and the OS. The PS4 has 8MB of ram which is killer. Even so the gap between Wii U and PS4 will not be
nearly as great as the gap between Wii and PS3. Wii was just about 1.5 more powerful than the Gamecube.

Honestly I do not even consider XboxOne a contender for my game dollars, as I do not want a Spybox in my house that can recognize who is in the room
at any given time, and I do not like their first party as much as Sony and Nintendo.

Here is a decent article that explains how much power the Wii U has better than I. www.gamefaqs.com...

I love the Wii U. Nintendo in general put out fantastic quality games, the only downfall being is that they spend a long time in doing so. Mostly this
is to ensure you're getting the best quality product but considering how long they've worked on some projects, you wonder if there isn't a little
bit more they could be doing to speed the process up a little.

I own every mainstream console going at the moment (with exception to the PS4), and it saddens me that the Wii U is the "underachiever" and that
no-one gives it a chance, citing it as gimmicky and childish.

I think the Gamepad is brilliant, and while you don't need it for every game, the implementation and uses of it in some games is perfect, and almost
indispensable.

They said the same thing about the 3DS, and it's become the best selling gaming device of the year. Even the Wii U sales picked up. So don't count
your eggs just yet, I think we're still yet to see great things all round, and I am just as excited for it as I am about more 'powerful' machines.
